Oops – I misspoke in the last brain dump. Uniqlo’sbig anniversary sale is still going on and there’s an additional $5 off $100 coupon. I went to the Paramus, NJ location last night to make a massive Urban Sweats return and checked out the +J collection while I was at it. I ended up loving the wool wrap coat and need a sale. By the way, the Paramus store may be my favorite area Uniqlo since they are not as crowded as the city ones and have its own entrance.

Amex users, I hope you are taking advantage of Amex offers. It’s a little frustrating since offers come from different channels and aren’t always communicated and are sometimes targeted. I check my Amex offers tab online or through the Amex app every few days, I skim Slickdeals updates (through RSS), and my bff keeps me informed.

NYCers, read on. You can get a $10 statement credit for each $50 spent at participating NYC retailers, up to three times! In the past, gift cards have qualified, but I will be poring over the terms before I take the plunge. Phone orders and online orders do not count. The retailers include B&H, Uniqlo!, and H&M. See the full list here. To get the offer, follow the Twitter syncing process, tweet #Amexshopny, and wait for a confirmation, or you can register directly here.

Renee Rouleau’s Vitamin C&E treatment is back in stock and 15% off with code C2014 until next Sunday, Oct 26. It’s a light serum and I love it enough to rebuy it. Not convinced you need a topical antioxidant? Read this.

I unboxed my Peach and Lily limited edition Seoulcialite box on Saturday and loved it. I read fan-b’s blog (link) beforehand, so no surprises. I think it was an excellent deal — some Mizon, Cremorlab, and nothing junky that I won’t use (well, maybe the earrings because they are too blingy for me). So far I’ve used the Banila Co. Clean It Zero cleansing balm.

In drugstore news, I’ve been loving CVS in-store deals – it’s all about stacking the weekend coupon with ECB deals, CVS coupons, and manufacturer’s coupons. I watched a $40+ total dwindle down to $11 yesterday. Is anybody else a CVS fan?
